I can't figure this out - how do you PM someone?

I've looked all over the place trying to figure out how to do it.

1. You see a person's post. To the right of their name, are icons. One looks like an opened envelope.

Click on it and it will send them a message. Get back if that doesn't work for you. If they have you blocked (see the person icon with the red x mark) the message won't go through. I'm assuming you have something good to share with them, so you probably won't be on their Ignore or blocked list.

3. Also, if you don't see a post from that person, click "options" at the top of the page

and there'll be an option on the left side called "user profiles". Type in their username and the rest is easy enough that even a low tech doofus like myself figured it out from there.

5. You're very welcome

I'm not kidding about being a low tech doofus, so any time I can actually help someone navigate something on a computer, I'm amazed at myself,and genuinely gratified to have been able to help.
And yes, as a matter of fact, I DO rock . But at my age, I have to take a nap first.:rofl:

6. You can also add them to your "buddy" list...

Again, in the row of icons next to the username, is an icon with a green plus sign in it. If you click on that icon, you get a prompt for the buddy list.

You can reach the buddy list through the options icon at the top of the page.

It sounds cumbersome, but it really isn't.

:hi:

Everyone is a comedienne.

8. I was sincere in my question

and other users were sincere in their answers. I don't pay much attention to those who play the mock squad. One day, they will need help, too. :)
